Hey Ian:
It was a good night last night. Hopey, the ball python, eventually ate a small F/t rat (from Petco)--this makes 2 weeks she's eaten after 2 months of refusing our offers. Still not sure what turned her into a reluctant eater after being an avid striker at F/t food.*shrug*
Brigid/Twilight, our last red-tail boa baby, ate her first F/t fuzzy mouse, after last week eating two live pinky mice--and that had been her first meal ever (one month after being born).
She seems fine--Vet says too early to show IBD, but maybe I was seeing a URI...but I hear nothing, and no open mouth. I think I saw star-gazing in some new baby boas at Petco....it was sad...but that was NOT our baby.
I think that Brigid's in a 2'x 1' 93 hot side, 75ish cool. when she finished eating, she stretched out on the cool side. Is that normal? Our corn and rat snakes both head for the hideboxes and heat. I tried to direct Brigid to the same, but she preferred stretching long near her water bowl on the cool side.
Happy with fully pookie bellies,
Antigone
